Integrated Budget and Program Review Resource Allocation Model Process
Emerging Needs Funding Request Process
College departments and committees can request funds for any needs arising during the
current fiscal through the Emerging Needs Funding Request process. These include needs that
require immediate attention (safety issue, equipment failure) or unforeseen needs based on
new state mandates, regulations or other college initiatives. Please keep in mind that CBAC will
not consider requests that should have been anticipated through the program review and
planning processes.
1. Requestor completes the form to request funding.
2. Requestor submits form with detailed justification to CBAC chair.
CBAC may ask the requestor to present their request at a CBAC meeting.
Committee requests should be linked to the goals/activities/areas for
improvement from their Committee Evaluation Form. Any analysis, evaluation,
assessment that the committees performed should be included in the
justification.
Instructional/service department requests should include citations of pertinent
regulations or requirements, documented safety issues, analysis of expenditures,
etc.
All requests need to demonstrate alignment with the College’s goals or one of its
institutional plans (e.g. Technology, Equity, Emergency, etc.).
3. After discussion on the merits of the request, CBAC will recommend funding and source
of funding to GAP. CBAC may modify the funding amount or recommend that the
funding not be allocated.
4. GAP approves or denies the recommendation and passes the recommendation to the
President.
5. President reviews with Cabinet and then:
will approve and inform committee with funded amount,
deny with rationale, or
modify request working directly with requestor.
Committee chairs, constituent group or department leads will work with Office of
Administrative Services to obtain account information and work with the area budget
administrator for spending. Unless otherwise specified and approved, allocations will be for the
current fiscal year spending only.
